Tool Thread - Post up your new tools!

[5Toes]

Thought I would start a thread where you could showcase any new tools you just bought. I'll start with these:



Wiha Hex Wrenches. Made from chrome plated tool steel with ball ends and screw holders to keep screws from falling off. Bought them for work.

I have same ones! I was fixing my bike in the rain though, and the nickel plating (I believe that is what it is) got a little rusty.



Part of my haul.



I got all my stubbies for $2 :)

And my wrenches seen here

Picked this up today:



Got it for cleaning hardware and small parts. Regularly $100, on sale for $50 plus 25% off for Easter means I got it for $37.50. :D Running some hardware right now.

Infrared thermometer. So many uses. So little time.

I looked into those. People say that they don't work on reflective surfaces, and you can't always tell when a surface is reflective enough to throw off a reading? - Just FYI. I don't know exactly. Something about the surface needs to be dark. I went a different route.

Picked up a $2 test light the other day and a decent dmm today.

Actually I'm surprised you didn't burn me back knowing that those mats are used in quilting.
